Greetings, I just wanted to bring to your (DEV) attention that 0.1.2 version linux executables do not have execute permission and require a chmod +x. This might be a roadblock for some people not savvy about linux or permissions.
Hello snakecult, I think it is a solo project by digi_b.
I am guessing digi_b use windows with ntfs as the file system for the storage media.
In short, it can not be done.
I looked how to store linux (ext4) files properties on windows (ntfs) and as far as I know it can not be done. I tried transferring an executable .sh from linux to windows and back and the .sh was not executable anymore. It has something to do with ntfs not being POSIX compliant. I don't remember in details but in short, ntfs (windows) have no way to store linux file properties.
That being said, there are solutions around that. 1) Using a dedicated hdd/ssd with ext4 (or another compatible) file system can be used with WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2) or another program (for exemple Linux Reader) for compatibility. 2) Using a linux virtual machine, copy the files, change the file permissions, compress and then upload from the VM. 3) Maybe using a docker container (which require WSL 2) with a custom script to automate the properties changes, compression and upload.
Seeing the additional requirements I kind of feel bad asking digi_b for that. Maybe adding a link that explain how to make it executable by the user would be sufficient. I don't know.
P.S.: The comment is a bit long sorry, I did not know how much details to write.
edit: added "by the user" to make the sentence clearer.
Don’t rush it, but just so you know, many of us are seriously anticipating the next update…like ppl awaiting the next great series on Netflix. Just saying…
Wanted to say phenomenal work on the story, love the characters, tried out 0.1.2 and immediately grabbed 0.3.2, can't wait for more. (Also do you just overwrite and the saves remain compatible?)
Just finished chapter 3, and wowee... I am hyped for the next chapter. Blessed are we to have received such a high-quality experience. I love how realistic the characters feel, especially our MC. It's not always you get to have both in-depth love interests and a funny, likeable, chad MC. Phenomenal work digi_b. Thank you for your (and any other supporters') hard work!
Hi there and thanks. In the free version, there’s a save folder. You can move that from the free version to the /game/ directory. Alternatively you can also copy the contents from the update you downloaded and overwrite the free version.
Dude, I just finished chapter 1 and I am already hooked for life. When you feel down and demotivated from developing, please remember that you have a lifetime supporter here. This is really SOMETHING for years to come.
Not gonna lie, I am getting anxious waiting for the next update. Based on the development log, it will be here anytime soon - but here's hoping that something big will be here for Kinda!
When will the next update be , please ? I Absolutely love this particular story , especially how a certain someone got FUBARED ON TV ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! You go BOI !
So when you have it installed go to your downloads and hit extract. But if it didnt save on to your pc from Mega refresh the page and hit the green button on bottom right
really good stuff....my background is filmmaking but have my first visual novel game coming out soon on steam, our store page out in next few weeks based on ip of a feature film script of mine...this was beautiful, look forward to more..this , leap of faith, chasing sunsets and being a dik top of the game
Thank you for your compliments! And great to hear your VN is making its way to Steam. If you wouldn't mind, would you let me know the name so I may wishlist?
Dude I just have to ask... I've spotted that you model these girls after real life people. Cass is definitely Alexandra Daddario, Naomi gives me some Jennifer Conelly vibes, June looks a bit like Ana de Armas and Zelda's smiling face reminds me of Emilia Clarke. What about other girls?
Haha, Cassandra's base model is from Alexandra model with some tweaks. Everyone else isn't based on actresses. Although I have seen people say Naomi's revised model resembles Katrina Law. Another person said that the random render I did of Artemis, she sort of looks like Ana de Armas.
There'[s a lot of rip-off's on Itch.Io. from only getting updates on Patreon, where you have to pay to become a member - plus the cost of the game. To early access games like this where you have pay for every update!
Hi there. I'm unsure why you're so angry at me. Patreon and itch are two different platforms. Patreon is if you wish to further support a developer. It is completely optional and no one forces anyone to go there, at least for my game. Patreon and Itch get updates at around the same time. Itch is a few days behind while I address any bugs reported, but it gets updated here as well. CH1 was released for free to be more of a demo and the update is just $10. On itch, paying the $10 gives you access to all updates. Only time that changes is if the price changes for the update and if you look at my prices, they're all the same for each update. So paying for Ch2 will automatically give you access to Ch3, and so on. Chapter 3 is the latest update and I am still developing Ch4.
So I buy version X, and unlike any other game genre, to get the latest version I have to pay a monthly fee to get it. That's your choice. You could put the update on Itch, where I have bought the game from at the same time as Patreon's. Everything devs do is their choice. There are games on Steam that have 2 chapters, on Patreon there are 9 chapters, and people on Steam have waited 6 months for these other 7 chapters. Be like most other games, release them at 1.0 (i.e. finished) and then charge more for them. Given VNs are so story based, it is so frustrating getting to an arbitrary end and not know when you are going to be able to continue with the story.
VNs are a tiny market because devs are more interested in Patreon's than customers, who bought their game on Itch or Steam!
Looks like you missed where I said "Itch is a few days behind while I address any bugs reported, but it gets updated here as well" Not weeks. Not months. Just a few days while I address bugs reported.
Relax dude. Don't come in here swinging, complaining about what others are doing when I have nothing to do with them.
Do you want to pay money for 0.2 and wait for 0.9 for a year when some games are on Patreon for 6 months+ before they get updated on Steam or Itch. Then fine.
You are a Genius. I Love the Graphics, The Story and the never Stopping Humor. If we could Buy such Stuff on Steam in Germany i´d love to Buy it there :D
i just purchased the game but the download link that was emailed to me says that the page is owned by someone else and won't allow me access. Please send me a valid link
Is there any way to download ch.3 in Firefox without using MEGA? I continue to get an "insufficient buffer" notification, but can't seem to find anything in the browser settings to remedy that.
I use Firefox and got the same error, after 2go it stopped and there's nothing I can do about that in Firefox. I used Chromium/Chrome to download it and it worked well. If you don't have a chromium based browser you could install the Mega app.
Trying to download this game, but I keep getting an error message from Mega... Any instructions on how to deal with this? "Your in-browser storage for Mega is full. Your download will continue automatically after you free up some space." If it matters, I'm on Win 10, using Brave browser.
[EDIT: Problem solved. Close the browser, open it again, clear all browser cache files, and start the download over. After that it went through on the first try.]
In Chapter 3 during the shooting range vs Naomi, it says ''Minigame skipped'' How do you even do the minigame? I can't really seem to do anything except continuing the story which prompts that note.
I though so too, but when I bought chapter 2, in september iirc, I had access to chapter 3 when it came out. I was pleasantly surprised.
Edit: I don't know if it is limited to a number of updates after purchase. But I assume it is for every updates unless maybe the price change. i don't know.
just finished Chapter Three. HOLY SH|¥, what a great, entertaining artistic VN! I mean really, this is as good as they get. I hope it makes it to Steam when it’s complete, for the creators deserve to benefit from this.
Characters aren’t paper-thin like the majority of VNs. Well designed, beautiful characters you actually can care about. A story not spun from the typical b.s. yarn; and when you get to the end of Chapter Three you will curse the developers for not giving ya more!
Well deserving of accolades, and all I can say in summary is, damn it, give us more!
Absolute Gem of a game. Already Purchased it. If it ever goes to steam I will most likely buy it there as well. Characters are funny. Absolutely love its not just a sex game but a real story attached to it. This is one of my top 10 for sure.. probably top 5!
Hope more flashback scenes will be added to explore the relationships of the characters especially of Kindra and the MC. Wouldn't mind more June and MC flashbacks as well.
Hi digi_b! Thank you for your work. I've got the 3.1 right now (took an eternity with mega 5go download limit per day) and noticed there are no files for linux. Since I use ubuntu that a bit of a problem to run it.
I copied: ./ _ARTEMIS.sh ./ _ARTEMIS-02.1-pc/linux-x86_64 into the new version structure and it works! But know that the linux port is appreciated if it is not too much work for you.
Hey digi awesome vn if I may ask a favor or just think about it, If there might be a harem route down the road because if so I would have internal hardon and screw myself to death, Please and thank you
well this is stupid that i can’t update the game because o.2.1 is still 10$ and 0.3.1 just released 9 hours ago. and wow figured that at lest 0.2.1 would be free over over a month ago but its been 4 months from 0.2.1 released wow
Well... I don't know what the creator think, but is it really stupid? If I was to create a game I would probably let a part free as a demo, but it is normal to pay for the rest of the game, like.. he or she invest his/her time in it, This game is no different than a game created by a big company.. The creator also need to live.

Is this a harem or a single path type story?
no harem route confirmed on discord
Bro can you provide me that discord link
It's in the game's main menu iirc
thanks buddy (Artemis Discord link :- https://discord.com/invite/qnPexQUnEz )
Don’t rush it, but just so you know, many of us are seriously anticipating the next update…like ppl awaiting the next great series on Netflix. Just saying…
:-)
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
Wanted to say phenomenal work on the story, love the characters, tried out 0.1.2 and immediately grabbed 0.3.2, can't wait for more. (Also do you just overwrite and the saves remain compatible?)

Oh and I forgot to say, the music is just *chef's kiss*. Awesome work by whoever produced the tracks for this game.
Hi there and thanks. In the free version, there’s a save folder. You can move that from the free version to the /game/ directory. Alternatively you can also copy the contents from the update you downloaded and overwrite the free version.
Let me know how it goes!
Dude, I just finished chapter 1 and I am already hooked for life. When you feel down and demotivated from developing, please remember that you have a lifetime supporter here. This is really SOMETHING for years to come.
That Ain't no firkin lie either this guy is the best I've seen yet ! Still can't wait too see what coming next !
Not gonna lie, I am getting anxious waiting for the next update. Based on the development log, it will be here anytime soon - but here's hoping that something big will be here for Kinda!
A-frikken-men. I want it BAD. And totally agree, digi_b is 100% an awesome dev.
When will the next update be , please ? I Absolutely love this particular story , especially how a certain someone got FUBARED ON TV ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! You go BOI !
nice story!maybe one of the best! It really touched me a lot， I can't wait until the next update.
One of the best VN i have ever played. Great story and amazing art, definitely worth the wait for updates.
I just bought this game for windows, and downloaded through mega, it is now saved as a file, how do i make it to where i can actually play the game?
So when you have it installed go to your downloads and hit extract. But if it didnt save on to your pc from Mega refresh the page and hit the green button on bottom right
android version?
I have to say, this is one of my favorites this year. I just finished playing the current release, and I can't wait until the next update.
when is next content update?
There is a small handful of scenes that remain. I am shooting for sometime in August at the latest.
Nice!
really good stuff....my background is filmmaking but have my first visual novel game coming out soon on steam, our store page out in next few weeks based on ip of a feature film script of mine...this was beautiful, look forward to more..this , leap of faith, chasing sunsets and being a dik top of the game
Thank you for your compliments! And great to hear your VN is making its way to Steam. If you wouldn't mind, would you let me know the name so I may wishlist?
sorry havent been here in a while.....Crown of Thorns is the name of my vn
I know right , more than an awesome set of stories , you can't get a better writer than this guy !!
Dude I just have to ask... I've spotted that you model these girls after real life people. Cass is definitely Alexandra Daddario, Naomi gives me some Jennifer Conelly vibes, June looks a bit like Ana de Armas and Zelda's smiling face reminds me of Emilia Clarke. What about other girls?

Dude , Chill !! , can't you see that this is one of the better writer's in this genera , no need to be an ass about it !
You can be part of the solution or help continue the problem. It's obvious what your choice is.
So you want everything given to you ? The world does not work like that , so quit complaining and go on about your life !
Do you want to pay money for 0.2 and wait for 0.9 for a year when some games are on Patreon for 6 months+ before they get updated on Steam or Itch. Then fine.
Dude. that may be the case for other devs but as this one said, they update both itch and patreon within days of eachother
You are a Genius. I Love the Graphics, The Story and the never Stopping Humor. If we could Buy such Stuff on Steam in Germany i´d love to Buy it there :D
i just purchased the game but the download link that was emailed to me says that the page is owned by someone else and won't allow me access. Please send me a valid link

when will chapter 2 be public?
Trying to download this game, but I keep getting an error message from Mega... Any instructions on how to deal with this?
"Your in-browser storage for Mega is full. Your download will continue automatically after you free up some space."
If it matters, I'm on Win 10, using Brave browser.
[EDIT: Problem solved. Close the browser, open it again, clear all browser cache files, and start the download over. After that it went through on the first try.]
I found this game thanks to Leap of Faith. Didn't understand the cross over at first. Loving it now!
In Chapter 3 during the shooting range vs Naomi, it says ''Minigame skipped'' How do you even do the minigame? I can't really seem to do anything except continuing the story which prompts that note.
I didn't have this issue. There is an option at the start of the game to either play or skip all mini games. Maybe it's in the options.
So I assume if I pay at least $10 for the next two chapters, when more chapters become available I'll have to pay all over again
I though so too, but when I bought chapter 2, in september iirc, I had access to chapter 3 when it came out. I was pleasantly surprised.
Edit: I don't know if it is limited to a number of updates after purchase. But I assume it is for every updates unless maybe the price change. i don't know.
I love how Lexi Diamante from Leap of Faith is in here, and DJ Kink is in Leap of Faith. Nice little nod/collab between two great games.
totally agree. Two quality AVNs!
I do love that as well. Also, LoF has a crossover with Chasing Sunsets, another great AVN. Maybe we'll see a nod to CS in Artemis in future chapters.
just finished Chapter Three. HOLY SH|¥, what a great, entertaining artistic VN! I mean really, this is as good as they get. I hope it makes it to Steam when it’s complete, for the creators deserve to benefit from this.
Characters aren’t paper-thin like the majority of VNs. Well designed, beautiful characters you actually can care about. A story not spun from the typical b.s. yarn; and when you get to the end of Chapter Three you will curse the developers for not giving ya more!

totally agree. Funny, interesting, sexy, and well designed. Great unique individual characters. 5 Stars.
so no more free updates?
i Can't get enough of this story truly.. Can't wait for chapter 4.
yeah me too.
Hope more flashback scenes will be added to explore the relationships of the characters especially of Kindra and the MC. Wouldn't mind more June and MC flashbacks as well.
Hi digi_b! Thank you for your work. I've got the 3.1 right now (took an eternity with mega 5go download limit per day) and noticed there are no files for linux. Since I use ubuntu that a bit of a problem to run it.
I copied:
./ _ARTEMIS.sh
./ _ARTEMIS-02.1-pc/linux-x86_64
into the new version structure and it works! But know that the linux port is appreciated if it is not too much work for you.
Again, thank you for your work!
I'mma dive right in.
does it have SECHS?
One of the best if not the best i have ever played
Yeah you're right. It's right up there with the best of them.
Hey digi awesome vn if I may ask a favor or just think about it, If there might be a harem route down the road because if so I would have internal hardon and screw myself to death, Please and thank you
Can you post this on a download site other than Mega. I am so tired of Mega's download quotas.
well this is stupid that i can’t update the game because o.2.1 is still 10$ and 0.3.1 just released 9 hours ago. and wow figured that at lest 0.2.1 would be free over over a month ago but its been 4 months from 0.2.1 released wow
Well... I don't know what the creator think, but is it really stupid? If I was to create a game I would probably let a part free as a demo, but it is normal to pay for the rest of the game, like.. he or she invest his/her time in it, This game is no different than a game created by a big company.. The creator also need to live.
well i understand but there is no information about it having a demo and none about having to pay for each version
